Damn. I could see this easily slipping into cheesy melodrama but man, if the performances, music, and cinematography are as good as they look here, this looks like it could make waves. Im sold.

Man I don't think I could handle this. Having children has made me such a wuss when it comes to watching films that deal with losing children in any way. Even Inside Out made my wife and I cry several times. LOL
